🔎 This is a gentle reminder for any #EBBR readers to look into getting a copy of the tagged title, the next book (no. 7) in the series, for out joint-read in August.

🔎 Another fun opportunity to channel your inner 9 year old and match wits with Idaville‘s boy detective!

If anyone wants to be removed or added to the tag list, let me know.

Hey ##EBBR friends! How did you fare with this month‘s title?

I did pretty well-I only missed “The Case of the Angry Cook” and I thought the “solution” was pretty tenuous. 😅

I am also curious about “The Case of the Falling Woman”. I understand the reveal, but how did the kid get a picture of a woman falling in the first place!?!?🤔 Was it his mom on a trampoline?

DGRachel I didn‘t take notes so I don‘t remember specific cases, but I do remember feeling like the solution offered wasn‘t necessarily the only one possible based on the clues given. I had a lot of “but what about…” moments. Overall, though, I liked this one better than the last! 4d
Ruthiella @DGRachel For sure Encyclopedia Brown‘s success rate would be lower if the bad guys weren‘t so willing to confess! 😂 4d
Read4life I agree with @DGRachel that this was better than the last. I can see why my (much) younger self devoured these books!! 3d
Ruthiella @Read4life I also tore through these as a kid. I don‘t think I ever guessed the solution correctly, however. 😅 3d

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Spending my #HyggeHour with Encyclopedia Brown for #EBBR & since I‘ll finish early, spend the rest of the hour with my Kindle & one of my current reads.

Drinking ice water & my snack is part of this candy bar. Mood is a little tired & not looking forward to Monday morning & a busy week of work.

I liked that this one had less overt racism than other entries in the series and it didn‘t include any mention of the creepy tooth collection. However, the solutions seem to stretch logic - the solutions could be right, but there are other explanations that are overlooked/ignored. Good for the target audience, though. #ebbr

Ruthiella Glad to hear this is better than the last one and there‘s no mention of Charlie Stewart‘s weird collection. 😂 3w

Done before lunch! Only two cases tripped me up. I knew I was doomed when Encyclopedia needed specific denominations of coins and bills.

Another month and another #EBBR title to read or re-read! Time for all those participating to hunt down a copy. So far I‘ve been lucky that my library system has them available in ebook format.

This blast from the past is a group read available for all.

My solved to stumped ratio was particularly bad in this one! 😬 Though, IMO, none of the solutions were particularly convincing. Was the author running out of ideas, I wonder?

Also, it was unpleasant reading due to one incident of animal cruelty and racist portrayals of indigenous Americans. The fact that it was the Seminole, however, it does help geolocate Idaville as being in Florida or one of its neighboring states with a coastline.

DGRachel This one was definitely not my favorite and I‘m glad I‘m not the only one who thought some of the solved involved questionable logic. I remember thinking, “well, yes, that‘s true, but what about…”. 1mo
Ruthiella @DGRachel Yes. The real mystery here is why the perpetrators confess so readily when faced with such flimsy “proof” of their crimes. 😅 1mo
Read4life I‘m with you on this. I think this was the weakest in the series so far and by far my least favorite. 1mo

Ruthiella @Read4life Let‘s hope the next one is better! 🤞 1mo
Sace I‘m glad I wasn‘t the only one with fewer solves than usual! 1mo
Ruthiella @Sace This does seem to be one of the weaker entries in the series. 1mo
